\n\t\t\tNeNe Leakes cannot believe how different the dating world has become ever since she was first courted by her late husband Gregg Leakes. \u201cThe dating pool actually has changed over the years,\u201d NeNe, 56, exclusively shared with Us Weekly while promoting her new reality show Outrageous Love With NeNe Leakes. \u201cMy husband actually courted me.

I don\u2019t even think they use that word anymore. He actually picked me up with roses and chocolate and I thought it was corny at the time. But I still learned honey, that was the right way to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

NeNe met Gregg in 1996, one year before they got married. The pair, who shared 27-year-old son Brentt, were together for nearly 25 years before Gregg\u2019s death. He died in September 2021 after battling stage III colon cancer.<\/p>\n
